AN INTERESTING CITY.
Why New Orleans Has Reason to Expect
"a Grand Future.

Why New Orleans Has Reason TO Expecs
"a Grand Future.
One might make various studies OF
New Orleans; its commercial life; its
methods, more or less antiquated, OF
doing business, and the leisure for talk
that enters into it; its admirable
charities and its medieval prisons; its
romantic French and Spanish history,
still lingering in the old houses and
traits of family and street life; the city
politics, which nobody can explain, and
no other city need covet; its sanitary
condition, which needs an intelligent
despot with plenty of money and an
ingenuity that can make water run up
hill; its colored population-about
fourth of the city-with its distinct
social grades, its superstition, non
chalant good-humor, turn riding and
basking in the sun, slowly awaking to
asense of thrift, chastity, truth-speaking.
with many excellent order-loving, patri-
otto men and women, but mass that
needs moral training quite as much as the
spelling book before it can contribute
to the vigor and prosperity of the city;
its schools and recent libraries, and the
developing literary and art taste which
will sustain book-shops and picture
galleries; its cuisine, peculiar in its
mingling of French and African skill,
and determined largely by a market
unexcelled in the quality of fish, game
end fruit-the fig alone would go far to
reconcile one to four or five months of
| hot nights the climatic influence in as
slmlating races meeting there from
every region of the earth.
But whatever way we regard New
Orleans, it is in its aspect, social tone
and character SUI generiS; its civilization
differs widely from that of any other,
and it remains one of the most interest
ing places in the republic. =. OF course
social life in these days is much the
same in all great cities in its onserv-
ances, but that of New Orleans is
markedly cordial, ingenious, warm
hearted. / do not imagine that it could
tolerate, as Boston does, absolute free
dom of local opinion on all subjects
and undoubtedly it is sensitive to crit
cism; but believe that it is literally
true, as one of its citizens said, that i
is still more sensitive to kindness.
The metropolis of the Southwest ha'
geographical reasons for a great future
Louisiana is rich in alluvial soil, TIN
capability of which has not yet beer
tested, except in some localities, by skill
full agriculture. But the prosperity o
the city depends much upon local con
ditions. Science and energy can solv
the problem of drainage, can CONVEX
all the territory between the city an
Lake Pontchartrain into a veritabl
garden, surprising in fertility the fla
environs of the City of Mexico. An
the steady development of commo
school education, together with techni
cal and industrial schools, will create
skill which will make New Orleans tn
industrial and manufacturing center c
. that region. Charles Dudley Warne'

THE HIDDEN EGG.
A Noted Mind-Reader's Most Interesting
Outdoor Experiment..

One of the most interesting of out
door experiments l ever performed took
place in Berlin twelve months ago last
Easter. Having purchased an Easter
egg and put into it quantity of gold,
the egg was given to Mr.. Kasson, the
American Minister, to hide anywhere
within radius of kilometer of the
Hotel de Rome, which was the starting
point. Accompanied by Count Moltke,
his Excellency, DR.. Lucius, and Prince
Ratibon, rs committee of inspection,
Mr.. Kasson took away the egg and hid
il, while l remained with the balance
of the committee in the hotel. Instead
of taking Mr.. Kasson by the hand, as
had done in other cases, | caused him
to be connected with me by a
piece of thin wire. Oae end of
the wire was twisted round my
right wrist and the other end round
his left; the coil itself remained
slack. Thus connected we started on
our errand of search From time to
time the wire was drawn taut and it
cut into our wrists with the force | ex-
ercised in pulling my subject along;
but, as far as possible, l avoided actual
ly touching his hand with my own.
After leaving the Inter den Linden we
turned into narrow street and then
into the Emperor Wilhelm's stables.
went up to corn box and found it
locked. For moment took Mr.. Kas-
sons hand in mine in order to increase
the impression. This done, l moved
toward Prince Ratibon, and putting
my hand in his pocket fetched out the
key of the box, which l at once opened
and inside, among the corn, l discov
cred the hidden egg. The egg and it
contents were afterward presented tt
the Crown Princess of Germany as al
Easter gift for the kindergarten, il
which her Imperial Highness takes Sc
deep an interest. Stuart c.. Cumber

Skyward, and hoped a star would fall
'Bring me ladder long, and

Where the great sun has gone to rest"
In youth we entered mo Mans Land"
And plucked the fruit ripe to each hand;

Rose our fair castles, frail as grand.
To-day the moon is high in heaven;
The stars to mortals are not given
For shining toys; Cares drifting sand
Has cholxed the path to mo Mons Land"

We loiter, seeking youth in vain;
But somewhere she is waiting yet,
Her rosy feet with May dew wet
We hear the far-off thrilling flute,
And sigh; the music is not mute,
But not for us the magic strain;
She will not come this way again.

In coming time the world will look
back with amazement upon the days
when it let known, determined Grim
inals run at large, only furnishing them
occasionally, by a temporary depriva-
ton of their liberty in short and de-
terminate sentences. We can see to-
day that it is a thoroughly illogical
proceeding. The man determined
upon life of crime is of no use to HIM
self at large and he is both a danger
and expense in his community. He
commonly gives evidence in his char
acter and his acts of this determination
evidence sufficient for the court
which tries and sentences him; but if
that is too uncertain, then conviction

Tomorrow Mrs. Langtry better
known as the Jersey Lily will reach
this city. In some places where
this famous beauty has visited q
noisy and vulgar crowd has followed
her about the streets annoying her
with shouts and insults. The fact
that she has achieved an interna-
tional notoriety gives no one the
right to insult or annoy her. She
comes here in a purely professional
capacity and she should be judged
in that capacity. Let it not be said
that there is any one in Carson City
so badly bred as to subject her to
annoyance.

will be consummated next Sunday.
Dwight Edwards was temporarily

pointed a Committee to wait upon
the Board of City Trustees and the
City Marshal, and explain that the
members of the Club will SO govern
themselves by rules while riding on
the streets as not to brighten any
fractions horses. This was deemed
necessary as threats have been
made by several country people, to
have an ordinance passed forbidding
wheelmen the pleasure of riding on
Main Street, which is about the
only good street in Carson for BIZ

Measure for Measure"

The Reno Gazette says: A mo-

most doubling to acknowledge that
Mrs. Langtry worked hard to ac-
quire the skill and excellence which
enables her to measure herself with
the greatest actresses of the day
most of them with much longer
technical study and experience.
Ii the figures published a few
days ago in the APPEAL relative to
Mrs. Langtry's measurements are
correct, she will be quite well able
to measure herself against the great
est actresses of this, or any other
day. They may have much longer
technical experience but length is
not the only consideration, they
must be well proportional to make
a perfect figure.

Bishop whitaker's Visit.

St Peters Church was visited on
Sunday by Rt. Rev. Bishop Whita-
ker, it being his annual visit.
There were crowded congregations
both morning and evening. In
the afternoon the Bishop visited the
State Prison with the Chaplain, and
took part in the services. In the
evening he administered the rite of
confirmation to seven persons, and
followed with timely discourse on
the duties one owed to the Church.
The Bishop held his congregation
by an earnest, sensible talk. He
makes no attempt at oiatorical dis
play, but talks as one friend would
talk to another on a matter in which
both were deeply interested, a
sty lie of preaching which is the
most effective of all eloquence, be-
cause it reaches all. The Bishop
left for his school at Reno yester-
day morning.

the persons receiving the rite of
confirmation: Miss Emily Hart

TINS in diving machine, and tele-
graphed the offer to Mr.. Patton,
but his response was that the shaft
had caved; this, therefore, barred
out any help in that direction.
CHOW, I claim that had several
divers been used, the men on
the upper level would GER
tainly have been reached long be-
fore the rescuing party got to
them ; several could have penetrated
into the drifts though filled
with gas, and absolutely packed
the men out. / am willing to put a

SCI, BIG FIND.
what Was Unearthed Yesterday
at the Prison QUARRY


Those who take an interest in
the archaeological researches at the
State Prison will rejoice to learn
that another remarkable discovery
was made there yesterday morning
at twenty minutes past ten O'Clock.
William johnson, one of the la
borers in the quarry, went to tap
the wall after a blast and was as
tonished to find that the rock gave
back a hollow sound that revealed
the presence of subterranean
chamber. Warden Mccullough
and Deputy Warden Corbett were
at once sent for. After taking a
few soundings Mccullough decided
that the wall was so thin that it
could be broken in with a sledge.
Extra guards were held in readi-
ness, as it might happen that if the
breaking down of the partition led
to subteranean avenue, the pris-
oners might rush to escape In
fact this idea seemed to take pos
session of the prisoners minds, for,
when orders were given to break in
the wall with a sledge they crowded
about the spot under a pretense of
curiosity. Mccullough took in the
at once and ordered the |
men back to their cells under
charge of the guard. Subsequent |
showed the wisdom of |
this order.
When the yard was clear, the |
Warden, who is a powerful man,
swung the heavy sledge against the
wall, and after a few blows it fell in
and revealed a cave in the rock |
about twelve feet long and eight
feet high. Mr.. Mccullough, ac-
companied by Deputy Corbett and
three guards, stepped inside the
cave and Immediately came out
again with a great rush. They
were followed by a shower which
did not come from the clouds, and
three black and white, striped ami
mails known to science as the North
skunk.
These three animals took possess
ion of the yard at once, but did not
njure the prisoners, as they were
ali safe in their cells, out of harms
way. A less thoughtful Warden
would have a yard full of men for
The skunks to monkey with.
After the little animals were shot
t was discovered that sort of bur-
rowing hole led from above ground
70 the cave in the quarry.
